WORSHIP

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I hope this note finds you well. I will not be with you this weekend. I am attending a Cursillo

retreat over in St. John's in Agawam. I have no idea what to expect, but one thing I know is that when you give a little bit of your time over to the Lord, He never disappoints. Let's pray for each other!

I would also like to draw your attention to something I believe is important. Next weekend, we will have a signature drive here in our parish. The Massachusetts Alliance to Stop Public Funding of Abortion was founded in 2015, and they need to collect 120,000 signatures. If they get the number of signatures the petition can potentially be on the ballot and voted on in the November 2020 election in Massachusetts.

We can help by walking over to the Social Center after masses on the weekend of October 19-20 and sign the petition. Part of the policy written by the Bishops of Massachusetts for signature drives is they must take place at a designated location on the property and away from the flow of parishioners approaching or departing Holy Mass. There is more information as you exit the Church and can be found at . See you next week! Sincerely Yours, Fr. Dave

The Liturgy and Final Vow Ceremony for Melinda Adrienne Pellerin, ssj.
